Abstract
As a beloved destination place of urban public space, the public attitude towards shopping malls is significant to sustainable development. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception of biophilic design in relation to the landscape preferences of mall visitors and to assess visitor intentions, testing the impact, extent, and role of biophilic design elements. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey method; the data were collected from 427 public visitors at an archetypal shopping mall in Shanghai, China. SmartPLS (version 4.0.9.2) was used to access a second-order measurement and structural model based on path modeling and bootstrapping. The results suggest a number of discoveries. Firstly, biophilic design has positive impacts on visitors’ landscape preference, and the approach facilitates revisit intentions and positive referrals within individuals. Secondly, the knowledge has been extended that beyond simply the green dimension (plants), visitors are able to holistically perceive biophilic design elements and subordinate attributes (e.g., curved lines, repeating patterns, spatial focal points). Lastly, biophilic design can create a restorative experience for mall visitors and can be viewed as a complementary service to provide the health benefits of an unstructured stay in a natural setting.
